We're listening to a social artifact from #Australia in the #1970s.
#Unionism, the bush, serious young men, & bush dance music all packaged up by #PaulHamlynPtyLtd for consumers.
#FreedomOnTheWallaby by #DaveDeHugard and the Bush Band.
" ... independence, mateship and disregard for the boss had already been established by the convicts, early settlers and miners ...".
Good stuff. Though the #FairGo was restricted in who was eligible - women & Chinese being just some of those excluded.
@blakeheathsnow Maybe shareholders can pay extra every time they buy or sell #Commbank #Westpac #NAB etc shares. That would be a #fairgo 🤔

“This #HR AI avatar is a perfect demonstration of late stage capitalism,” Jack Ryan, someone who was interviewed by a tool called Fairgo.ai, told 404 Media

This really is a bad week for #journalism in #NZ. Today, Newshub announces closure, and we await the fate of the #TVNZ Sunday programme, after yesterday, TVNZ confirmed the loss of benchmark consumer affairs programme #FairGo and other news programmes 🥺

Fair Go is the canary in the coalmine of investigative journalism. It's imminent demise is deeply troubling.
Whatever their opinion about the political neutrality of the contemporary news media - or whether broadcasting should be a public service, a business, or a mix - most kiwis value what a program like Fair Go does. It still gets huge audiences on broadcast TV.
How can there be no public service media funding for something like Fair Go?!?

I have emailed my local member of the federal parliament asking for an explanation.
Any Australian can do this.
You need to find which federal electorate you are in.
Then go to the webpage below and put your postcode in.
(Just your postcode might be enough - depends on whether you are near a boundary between electorates.)
You will need their email address to write them about stopping climate change too.

It has long supported #reconciliation and a “#fairgo”.

The #AncientGreeks worked out how to compel their equivalent of today's #billionaires to pay their fair share in #tax.
When they don't, we all suffer.
Its reportedly called #antidosis (in english, #exchange) and it involves the #billionaireClass competing to pay the most tax they can, lest an #organicSwap/ exchange may occur.
In the spirit of #DickSmith's #FairGo read about how it works here:
http://www.john-williams.org/antidosis.html
We love reading stuff like this.
If we get enough interest we'll provide a rundown on why a party may be Dangerous, Irksome, Pass or Brilliant, based on where they stand on #environment, #housing, #foreignPolicy, #health, #privacy, and #DickSmith's a #FairGo initiatives.
Do please boost if you're outside Australia, but wish to help.
We'll determine whether enough Australian's care about these areas.
Cheers

Thanks yes, #Katamari.
Some asked what the 'we' is. Basically, we represent those people who 6 years ago strived to see DickSmith's FairGo Movement, become a reality.
We still haven't ended that fight.
We are almost indifferent towards being labelled or mislabelled 'jew' by someone. Because we are about #solidarity, a #FairGo, convivialSufficiency, and a reduction in devisiveness, we err on the side of #identitarianism being unhelpful.
We never condone violence, here. Yes, the limits are being imposed by govt.
When #DickSmith started this very #FairGo movement in August 2017, he launched it saying that there will be #pitchforks and clashes on the streets.
If our page is still up on #Fakebook you'll see the cover image in 2017 that we posted.
DICK SMITH CHOSE that violent artist depiction as a prediction and a warning.
The media ridiculed him summarily. He was correct, they being corrupted are wrong.
We don't often talk about videogames because it's generally outside the scope of the #FairGo movement.
The culture that has grown out of videogames is great and vibrant. One of its great successes was it redefined what the word "#gaming" means to people.
In the past 'gaming' was synonymous with mere '#gambling', but spearheaded by creatives at #Nintendo it became a fun, artful medium.
There's evidence #videogameCulture is coming full circle to re-embrace gambling.
We hope it doesn't.
@info_activism
If a #billionaire doesn't pay at least 50% in tax, but #laundersIdentity through #philanthropy, they should go into a database. At random one (or 2%) of these #billionaires will have to pay 70% of their yearly #revenue in that country in tax or be #brokenUtp.
Our namesake, #DickSmith, as part of his #FairGo movement wanted the #extremelyWealthy to pay they way.
He called for more #transparency on tax returns – to shame those #greedy, wealthy few.

Another very interesting tidbit.
After we publish the (#)FediverseIcon and (#)FediFlyer on (#)Wikimedia Commons/(#)Wikipedia they, continually blocked us and kept shifting the goalposts until they had deleted our content completely from the site.
Funny how #Google and other corporateGiants can show their works on Wikimedia but not a "#DickSmith #FairGo Supporters" page.
Thankfully at least one good soul, who we haven't forgotten about, is hosting the flyer.
We are a #grassroots, supporters group for #DickSmith's #FairGo, who believe we can get a FairGo when #corporations end #environmental and worker abuses.
We have reason to believe #WikimediaCommons is an arm of the #militaryIndustrialComplex, laundering #militarism and #colonialViolence abroad. They offer some photos and media as #freeLicense while shmoozing with the locals and gathering #intelligence.
We realise that that is a big statement, but we now believe it to be true.
